Mahindra, the leader in SUV sales in India, is aware that it must adapt to the changing needs of its customers and the times. The business just underwent a significant internal and external redesign for its ageing XUV300. With XUV400, this same treatment is also on the way.
Mahindra’s plans for the XUV300 and XUV400 suggest that the company will likely use the XUV3XO’s fascia for the XUV4XO EV or the XUV400 facelift (name not confirmed). PowerStrokePS’s spy video employs the same strategy. Still, the fascia will continue to divide views. The test mule in question has an entirely camouflaged body, and its front end looks exactly like that of a XUV3XO. Similar to XUV3XO, this specific test mule has three grill apertures.
The XUV400 EV facelift’s final production version may have distinctive bumpers and closed-off grill designs. The charging outlet located on the front left quarter panel of this test mule is the primary feature that identifies it as an electric vehicle. Similar placement to that of the XUV400 currently in use. The alloy wheels on XUV3XO appear to be the same as well. These have a dual 5-spoke design pattern and are 17 inches in diameter.
Mahindra XUV400 Big Surprise
A significant discovery made on this test mule that caught us completely off guard. There would be a size disparity between the XUV300 and XUV400 if we picked those two automobiles. XUV400 is 4.2 meters long because it did not have to meet the B Segment length restrictions, although XUV3XO is slightly shorter than 4 meters.
It appears that the impending XUV400 makeover will change that. This one appears to be similar to XUV3XO in length—less than 4 meters. Boot space was the single significant advantage of XUV400 over XUV300. On paper, however, XUV3XO has a bigger boot space, which is sufficient to compete with Nexon EV. Consequently, there is no need to create a longer vehicle. This measure will additionally guarantee optimal manufacturing efficacy and economical production.
You can utilise every body panel made for the XUV3XO on the XUV4XO. Safety elements including the five-star crash rating system, Level 2 camera-based ADAS, and 360-camera The XUV3XO will include the same six airbags, TCS, ESP, all-four disc brakes, and LED lighting throughout.
Inside, the future Mahindra XUV4XO EV will have every feature found in the XUV3XO. We’re talking about features like push-button start, leatherette seats, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 10.2-inch infotainment and instrument screens, soft touch materials, dual-zone climate control, LED inside lighting, and more. The Mahindra XUV4XO EV’s powertrain may be the same as the XUV400’s, with battery options of 34.5 kWh (375 km range) and 39.4 kWh (456 km range). It is also believed to have the same 148 horsepower and 310 Nm single electric motor as the XUV400. Launch could take place in 2025 or later this year.
